Turnkey Ecolodge and Permaculture Coffee Farm
on a Paradise Island in Nicaragua with Cabins
Santa Cruz, Ometepe Island, Nicaragua, Central America
Asking Price: 385,000 - 400,000 USD (Negotiable)
Are you looking for an opportunity that can give you a sustainable quality of life on a paradise Island which is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve? Are you looking to wake up to the sounds of birds and a spectacular view? Are you looking to live your life in nature and escape the insane costs of living in a big city?
If you have answered yes to all of the above questions, then here is the opportunity…
Located in a UNESCO Island Biosphere Reserve called Ometepe, in a rural area in the village of Santa Cruz, Finca Del Sol is a turnkey Ecolodge and Permaculture Coffee farm that resides in one of the best tourist zones in Ometepe with a high occupancy during peak tourist seasons.
The island is famous for its peace-loving lifestyle and offers visitors, a myriad of adventure activities including volcano hiking, kayaking in the wetlands, visiting pristine waterfalls, swimming in crystalline volcanic springs that offers significant medicinal value, horse riding along the beach or in the jungle with spectacular views and a laidback lifestyle. The island also has a rich cultural indigenous history and is home to thousands of pre-Columbian petroglyphs found all over the island.
The property is ideally located within a tourist hub on magical Isla de Ometepe – one of Nicaragua’s national treasures and featuring two volcanoes joined by a sandy isthmus. Looking at it aerially, the two volcanoes (known as Volcán Concepción and Volcán Maderas) are joined by a low isthmus to form one island in the shape of an hourglass, dumbbell or peanut. Ometepe has an area of 276 square kilometers.
The property spans 11.00 acres and is situated on the slopes of a cloud forest dormant volcano called Maderas and features spectacular views of an active volcano and Lake Nicaragua or Lake Cocibolca – the world’s 19th largest freshwater lake and the largest in Central America. It is also not far from the local natural swimming pool called Ojo de Agua that was formed in the rainforest and is now a popular tourist destination.
The Eco lodge itself has 80 meters of road access and million-dollar views of Volcano Conception from almost everywhere on the land. It is made up of four Main cabins, separate Cabin for the Kitchen Loft and has comfortable accommodations and quality service. It has a clear title deed and is a profitable, turnkey business where you can reside in this tropical paradise or run it strictly as a business investment or operate as a farm or a yoga retreat space or even just your own private property.
The Owners’ residence and guest bungalows have stunning views of Volcan Concepcion and access to a variety of tourist activities ensuring you will be making a profit immediately.
The property includes 3400 square feet of buildings and a huge potential for expansion. There are also approximately 15 pre-Columbian petroglyphs located all over the property. The owner is based in Canada and is looking to sell for personal reasons.
